I agree with Jay douglas. If you intend to put monitors on stands they will take up the same floor space as full range speakers. I set up a small listening using monitors on stands but always felt something was missing. Weight is a good word to describe the missing element with monitors, air is another word. Those qualities are difficult for monitors. Good luck.
Monitors under $1500?
Many of you are helping me make the transition from consumer gear to separates. For that I am greatly appreciative.
I find myself, however, all over the board with respect to speakers. I remember the many pairs of monitor-sized speakers I've owned in the past (none of any truly notable lineage) and was wondering which monitors I should be considering as stepups. I've read about Spendor, Linn, Paradigm (Reference/S), Dynaudio, DefTech, etc. Don't really know much about the mid-end of the monitor spectrum.
Would any of you care to make some suggestions in the $1250-$1500 bracket, new and/or *lightly* used?
Thanks in advance!
